Henning Kaggerman, the CEO of SAP, is coming to Palo Alto for an employee meeting. He has asked for questions for him to respond to be emailed in advance. Personally, I'm looking forward to this as Henning is a scary smart and very articulate executive not known for dodging tough questions with marketing soundbite answers.
Are there any questions you are interested in airing? If so, post them as a comment to this post and I'll add them to my list. Please note that I can't guarantee that I will post the responses because some of his responses may fall into the 'company confidential' category, but I'll try my best.
Personally, I would just be curious what he thinks would be the most critical achievement SAP needs to accomplish over the next couple of years to ensure its continued success and what are the biggest risks to achieving that goal. I know that sounds pretty general, but sometimes its just interesting to here what CEOs have as the #1 goal in their mind for their companies.

During the last few years SAP has been opening more and more, to reach a wider audience. This is evident from opening up of SAP Community Site, SAP Developer Network. What brought this change in SAP's thinking. Considering the only avenue to get SAP info besides TechEDs and ASUGs used to be sap.com.
